i am sooooo fucking sick of being sick.
that said, i am still having a really good time. mister L's parents are just really funny nice people who i would be happy to know even if i didnt marry their son. i feel lucky to have nice in laws that i get along with, i hear it isnt a common thing. since this is the only time i have been married i will have to take other people at their word.
we are all trying to decide how to handle this weekend. we had sort of hoped to all go up to cape cod, or even mystic connecticut but the weather is conspiring against us. now we are left with a weekend of no plans and no accomodations. they only booked their room at the bed and breakfast up till today and even if they could extend their stay there i am not sure they would. the experience they had there was not entirelly pleasent. it did however give mrs T a chance to demonstrate her excellent negotiating skills. she is so polite and direct about delivering complaints that by the time she is done they are practially paying her for the stay. she hypnotizes them with niceness, she is so good at it that she got our movie tickets to big fish comped too. how lucky i am that she taught me the secret to it.. i cant wait to try it out. oh yeah and big fish was amazing, go see it, but bring tissues.
missy lauren is back in town after travelling to viriginia to meet her boyfriends parents. they are an old school genteel southern family (i.e. very rich) and his mother has other plans for her son that do NOT include a girl from a bohemian family like laurens. apparently the whole time lauren was down there she was exceptionally nice in that incredibly rude way that southern ladies are so skilled at. i got the impression that she did her best to make the whole trip miserable for her, all the while playing the perfect hostess. what a bitch. still, i am sure lauren was happy to see her boyfriend, and at least get the whole nightmare over with.
and it goes without saying that i am thrilled to have her home.

this morning i woke up clutching a piece of gold foil, inside was a lump of half eaten chocolate. the night before that there was evidence of an epic battle between myself and stinky (the cat) over some left over mango chicken. i have no real clear memory of this but my sauce crusted sheets were happy to tell the tale. i am eating naughty things in my sleep again, i must be stressed.
no surprise there, its that time of year, the holidays are always filled with driving, shopping, socializing, visits from out of town guests, airport runs, cooking, spending too much money, and working way too hard. i spend just as much time remembering things i have forgetten to do as i am actually doing them. and now i am sick. that thing i was fending off 3 entries ago officially kicked my ass yesterday. its no wonder i am stuffing my face in sleep.
mister L's parents are in town for 2 weeks. i love them and are happy they are here, but i do wish i was in a better state to recieve them. tonight we are all going to just go out to dinner and have some champagne at home. big pushy crowds and loud parties do not interest any of us this year. new years eve has never been my favorite holiday. it seems to be the time that people ruminate on their sucesses and failures for that year and resolve to change their ways. well, i do that every goddamn day of my life so i think i am going to do the opposite. i will not worry about how well this year went or how the next one will go. in fact i am not going to think about anything for the rest of the day.
what i AM going to do is go into the kitchen and have a piece of that cake i made yesterday but was too busy to have any of and i am not even going to take a nap to do it.
